The fact is that 90% of companies that will employ you as a GT will ask you to sign bond. No company wants to spend money training you without some form of commitment from you. Notwithstanding you can still leave before the expiration of the bond, this is Naija, anything goes....

ok. Is that what he didn't want to say here? Am thinking there should be more to it since he told me to pm him privately. The bond is not a new thing to me as we were told pop and clear during our interview that we'll be required to sign a 3 year bond and I accepted.

There is nothing more. Only that the bond might carry a clause that if you leave the company before the expiration of the bond, you'll have to pay the company a huge amount of money. That doesn't hold water in Nigeria.

Hello everyone,
I can see from the forgoing that the issues of bond and what not has been a concern. Let me say from the first that I am qualified to write about this because I am one of the ealier batch of trainees to be recruited by BEDC, the 4th to be precise. Also, I am writing this as a concerned fellow graduate. I will dwell on that later.
You see the issues with BEDC are more than just the bond. In a nutshell, BEDC isn't where you should consider as having gotten a 'career'. By all means accept their terms if you haven't gotten a job before this one. If you are considering resigning from one, don't try it I plead with you. You may come to regret it as some are currently. And let me say that I actually resigned despite not having another job. :x

Now to my own story, a brief one. I joined BEDC sometime last year and was happy and hoping to have a good time. Trust me, one year down the line it felt like I was just going with the flow of the company and nothing was really improving in me except my bank account. I know you'd say that's all that matters in an economy like this one but that thinking is flawed for many reasons. One is that the world we live in today is a very fast-paced one and you have to always stay relevant to any industry you find yourself. This requires that as you are working for a company, you are in return improving yourself and your market value for future employers. If all a company is about is just for you to carry out assignments which do not even tally with whatever you studied in school or even remotely similar to any other one, then you need to rethink your allegiance because 3 years down the line, you would scarcely be able to put anything tangible on your CV as a relevant experience. I came to this realisation when after more than a year, I really cannot put anything tangible on my CV and to make matters worse, my final posting was even nothing to write home about (literally). It was then I decided to RESIGN.

Don't think for a moment that to resign is a walk in the park. I was just lucky to have them very busy with more pressing matters than a disgruntled graduate. I now know of a former close colleague who also wants to resign but is having a tough time trying to do that. And he hasn't gotten another one too.

The story is becoming too long for my liking so my advice:
1. Take up the offer if you haven't gotten anything going now and don't rest thinking you've finally landed a career job. Continue to strive to improve yourself and get the one you really deserve. I'll leave you to sort out your bond headache since it isn't mine.
2. Don't take up the offer if you currently have one and you're considering resigning from that one. Chances are that it's going to be just like where you are now or even worse. Don't think about the money, trust me, I have been there.

I haven't written this tirade to spite BEDC or try to be some kill-joy or nay sayer. I feel concerned seeing how some here are being naive knowing not what they are walking into, I feel it as the decent thing to do to offer my advice. We only have one life to live and deserve to make the best of it and avoid mistakes as much as we can. You are responsible for giving your life the good that it deserves.

Regards and #NeverSettle.
